💡 What's interesting

Culturally, it's one of the few cocktails with a protected name in Bermuda, legally requiring the use of Gosling's Black Seal rum. Its layered, stormy appearance—dark rum floating atop the lighter ginger beer—visually represents its name and the turbulent weather of the Atlantic.
